But then along came Toshiba, which performs
maintenance and repair work on conventional
nuclear reactors around the world. The company is
trying to develop a new reactor that would run
almost unattended and put out 10 megawatts of
power, about 1 percent as much as a typical United
States plant.
It sees Galena as a test market for a product that
could appeal to other isolated small towns,
factories and mines.

New non-lethal weapon lets troops microwave hostile crowds
Special to World Tribune.com
http://GEOSTRATEGY-DIRECT.COM
Thursday, February 3, 2005 The United States has developed a non-lethal
microwave weapon for use in Iraq.
The Active Denial System uses millimeter-wave electromagnetic energy that can
be directed at targets at a range of 1 kilometer.
Officials said the vehicle, termed Sheriff, would contain the Active Denial
System. The system uses millimeter-wave electromagnetic energy that can be
directed at targets at a range of 1 kilometer. The ADS system would be downgraded
for Iraqi deployment in urban areas, officials said. The ADS causes the skin
to burn, causing the people to run away.

Dr. Russell Blaylock: Mercury Amalgam Fillings: Lies, Damn Lies and Statistics
I have just posted a new article on the WNHO site
entitled, "Mercury Amalgam Fillings: Lies, Damn Lies
and Statistics," and written by Neurosurgeon Russell
Blaylock, M.D.
Dr. Blaylock wrote this in response to the LSRO
position paper which declared dental amalgams to be
safe. It appeared originally in the IAOMT-
organization website. The IAOMT are a group of dentists
who oppose dental amalgam and fluoride use. Dr.
Blaylock has given us permission to post this on the
WNHO site. Here is a link for your convenience - Bradley

"This so-called ill treatment and torture in detention centers,
stories of which were spread everywhere among the people, and later
by the prisoners who were freed . were not, as some assumed, inflicted
methodically, but were excesses committed by individual prison guards,
their deputies, and men who laid violent hands on the detainees."

An Alex Jones Film presented by Erin McCann
The club at Bohemian Grove is located inside a 2,700 acre redwood grove. At this unholy place a 3,000 year-old Caananite cult is being revived. Each year, members of this all-male ultra-elite club don red, black, and silver robes and conduct an occult ritual wherein they worship a giant stone owl and burn a human being "in effigy" as a sacrifice to their owl god. Now, for the first time in history, an outsider has infiltrated Bohemian Grove with a hidden video camera and caught the ritual on tape. That man is Alex Jones.
The film is FREE but $5 donations are accepted

# 2/12: Celebrate Adopt a Rabbit Month with the Bunnies this Saturday! (richmond / point / annex)
House Rabbit Society is hosting a special Valentine Bunny Event on
February 12th, from 12:00 to 4:00 at the Richmond Shelter.
Has your bunny been lonely because he has lost a companion or does he or she just need a friend? Don't put his happiness on hold any longer! Bring him or her by the shelter to meet our adorable bunnies. Volunteers will be on hand to work with you and your bunny to find the perfect mate. We request an appointment for the matchmaking sessions, so call early. There is no fee. Of course, if it is you who are looking for a loving companion rabbit, you too are welcome and do not need to make an appointment.
Ken Mark will be again taking beautiful bunny photo portraits with a heart-motif background. If you missed our November holiday photo shoot, you'll definitely want to be here for this. A modest donation will be charged.
Last, but not least, there will be a very "heart-y" Valentine vegan luncheon featuring a cream of tomato and vegetable soup, a green salad mixed with heart-shaped red peppers, daikon radish and other vegetables, whole wheat herb rolls and a yummy chocolate cake with raspberry cream frosting. The lunch will be available from 12:00 to 3:00, and take out is again an option. The cost for the luncheon is $11.00, and reservations are required.
To reserve time for a bunny matchmaking session or to make a reservation for the luncheon, please call the shelter at 510 970-7575. Staff will confirm your appointment time and/or luncheon reservation.

# Third Annual International Quirkyalone Day Party
2/12/05 8 pm = 1 am $5-$20 sliding scale
Come help celebrate a growing international movement that reclaims Valentine's Day for those of us who relish solitude, close friendships, freedom, and creativity, and who judge our lives by the amount of passion in them rather than by whether we're single or not.
International Quirkyalone Day (IQD) is a growing movement of people who are reclaiming Valentine's Day and making it a fun, inclusive, do-it-yourself holiday. Unlike the anti-Valentine's movement, Quirkyalone is a positive declaration-a feel-good alternative to the marketing barrage of Valentine's Day and an antidote to the silicone version of love presented in shows such as Joe Millionaire and The Bachelorette. IQD is a celebration of individuality, romance, friendship, and self-respect on Feb 14.
The flagship party will be held in San Francisco, the epicenter of the Quirkyalone movement. Last year 350 people attended, and we're expecting a similarly successful event this year. International Quirkyalone Day is officially february 14, but we will be celebrating on February 12, this year.
Party highlights:
-Quirkycrafts (make your own quirkyalone journal)
- Party games
- Late-night dance party with songs inspired by the quirkyalone movement
- Quirkyalone Love Connection Game
- Power Point presentation announcing the nominees and winners of the first annual Quirkys (awards of the quirkyalone community). Awards will be given for, among other things, Best Quirkyalone Movie, Song, and Book of 2004, the Most Offensively Unquirkyalone Reality Show, and the Most Unquirkyalone Celebrity Couple.
- World premiere screening of a short movie on International Quirkyalone Day
- Raffle ticket included with price of admission-prizes include quirkyalone t-shirts (girl and boy styles), bumper sticker, and trucker hat.
-Signed copies of QuirkyAlone for sale by Valencia Street Books

New non-lethal weapon lets troops microwave hostile crowds
Special to World Tribune.com
http://GEOSTRATEGY-DIRECT.COM
Thursday, February 3, 2005 The United States has developed a non-lethal
microwave weapon for use in Iraq.
The Active Denial System uses millimeter-wave electromagnetic energy that can
be directed at targets at a range of 1 kilometer.
Officials said the vehicle, termed Sheriff, would contain the Active Denial
System. The system uses millimeter-wave electromagnetic energy that can be
directed at targets at a range of 1 kilometer. The ADS system would be downgraded
for Iraqi deployment in urban areas, officials said. The ADS causes the skin
to burn, causing the people to run away.

Blaylock, M.D.
Dr. Blaylock wrote this in response to the LSRO
position paper which declared dental amalgams to be
safe. It appeared originally in the IAOMT-
organization website. The IAOMT are a group of dentists
who oppose dental amalgam and fluoride use. Dr.

"This so-called ill treatment and torture in detention centers,
stories of which were spread everywhere among the people, and later
by the prisoners who were freed . were not, as some assumed, inflicted
methodically, but were excesses committed by individual prison guards,
their deputies, and men who laid violent hands on the detainees."

An Alex Jones Film presented by Erin McCann
The club at Bohemian Grove is located inside a 2,700 acre redwood grove. At this unholy place a 3,000 year-old Caananite cult is being revived. Each year, members of this all-male ultra-elite club don red, black, and silver robes and conduct an occult ritual wherein they worship a giant stone owl and burn a human being "in effigy" as a sacrifice to their owl god. Now, for the first time in history, an outsider has infiltrated Bohemian Grove with a hidden video camera and caught the ritual on tape. That man is Alex Jones.
The film is FREE but $5 donations are accepted

Bring him or her by the shelter to meet our adorable bunnies. Volunteers will be on hand to work with you and your bunny to find the perfect mate.

Of course, if it is you who are looking for a loving companion rabbit, you too are welcome and do not need to make an appointment.
Ken Mark will be again taking beautiful bunny photo portraits with a heart-motif background. If you missed our November holiday photo shoot, you'll definitely want to be here for this. A modest donation will be charged.
Last, but not least, there will be a very "heart-y" Valentine vegan luncheon featuring a cream of tomato and vegetable soup, a green salad mixed with heart-shaped red peppers, daikon radish and other vegetables, whole wheat herb rolls and a yummy chocolate cake with raspberry cream frosting. The lunch will be available from 12:00 to 3:00, and take out is again an option. The cost for the luncheon is $11.00, and reservations are required.
To reserve time for a bunny matchmaking session or to make a reservation for the luncheon, please call the shelter at 510 970-7575. Staff will confirm your appointment time and/or luncheon reservation.

Max's Slideshows are a must see for anyone interested in Goddesses & Women's Herstory!

Since then, she has photographed over 10,000 slides and created 80 slideshows on international women's history, including Women in Power, Witch Hunts, Racism, Goddesses, and Priestesses. Max has done extensive interdisciplinary research on the European witch hunts and folk traditions about witches.

# Third Annual International Quirkyalone Day Party
2/12/05 8 pm = 1 am $5-$20 sliding scale
Come help celebrate a growing international movement that reclaims Valentine's Day for those of us who relish solitude, close friendships, freedom, and creativity, and who judge our lives by the amount of passion in them rather than by whether we're single or not.
International Quirkyalone Day (IQD) is a growing movement of people who are reclaiming Valentine's Day and making it a fun, inclusive, do-it-yourself holiday. Unlike the anti-Valentine's movement, Quirkyalone is a positive declaration-a feel-good alternative to the marketing barrage of Valentine's Day and an antidote to the silicone version of love presented in shows such as Joe Millionaire and The Bachelorette. IQD is a celebration of individuality, romance, friendship, and self-respect on Feb 14.
The flagship party will be held in San Francisco, the epicenter of the Quirkyalone movement. Last year 350 people attended, and we're expecting a similarly successful event this year. International Quirkyalone Day is officially february 14, but we will be celebrating on February 12, this year.
Party highlights:
-Quirkycrafts (make your own quirkyalone journal)
- Party games
- Late-night dance party with songs inspired by the quirkyalone movement
- Quirkyalone Love Connection Game
- Power Point presentation announcing the nominees and winners of the first annual Quirkys (awards of the quirkyalone community). Awards will be given for, among other things, Best Quirkyalone Movie, Song, and Book of 2004, the Most Offensively Unquirkyalone Reality Show, and the Most Unquirkyalone Celebrity Couple.
- World premiere screening of a short movie on International Quirkyalone Day
- Raffle ticket included with price of admission-prizes include quirkyalone t-shirts (girl and boy styles), bumper sticker, and trucker hat.
-Signed copies of QuirkyAlone for sale by Valencia Street Books
